Provide Details.

EditTips

  • Involve all family members in this process. It will make it easier to follow if you are not alone, and will help your entire family become healthier.
  • If you are also working out along with your nutrition plan, make sure to remember that less calories isn't always the better choice. Your body will need those calories so it can work harder.
  • What you eat is only part of good health and nutrition. Remember to exercise and be active.
  • Consider using an online meal planner based on food guides.
  • Keep meals simple, with a few easy substitution options.

EditWarnings

  • Remember to build treats and rewards into your plan. If you restrict yourself by cutting out all snacks, you set yourself up to cheat and quit. The key is moderation!
